I see my LLMD next month ( most likely a televist still with these virus precautions) By then I will be on the bicillin injections for 2 months. Just wondering how soon will she introduce a cyst buster such as Flagyl?

since noone else has answered i will offer my thoughts.
from what I have read of Horowitz etc cyst busting drugs / adjuncts are usually given together with the antibiotics. my understanding is that these agents are selected for purported ability to break down the cyst cell walls, allowing the antibiotics in to do their work.
The only caveat I can think of to the above would be if a patient cannot tolerate the antibiotics and adjuncts at the same time - in which case you may have to introduce gradually and build up the dose.

Hello Garz, thank you for the reply! I've been reading similar things too that's why I asked. If my LLMD doesn't mention it I will. She probably wants to see how I am tolerating the bicillin first.
